To put currencies in perspective, in the 1600s, 40 guilders would be an annual pay for a trained sailor of the VOC, and the VOC, as the first multinational was said to pay well. The Dutch word "Spe(c)k" can mean both bacon and speck in English, though the latter is a bit archaic. Afaik English "Speck" means fat veined meat from the belly, while Bacon was originally specifically similar meat from the hind quarters, Dutch doesn't make the distinction. Dollar is coming from the Dutch Daalder, but the Dutch named the coin they minted from 1580s onward after well known German Imperial coins (both Guilder and Daalder derive from German coin names) to instil faith in it. Dutch had daalder coin (2 1/2 guilders) till the Euro introduction in 2002. Both daalder and Thaler are cognate with the English word "dale", i.e. the Germanic word for "valley". Dutch<->Deutsch, the word was originally a generic word for continental Germanic languages and their areas before the Dutch uprising. Usually if a distinction needed to be made, Dutch would be usually referred to as Flemish, the dominant county before say 1500-1600. Only when the vast area of German Empire's loosely connected separate counties started to merge into larger centralised blocks (Dutch state, but also expanding Prussia), the distinction became more important.

Thank you very much for uploading this. It was interesting to watch.

Enjoyed your presentation. May have missed the “significance of the Dutch Patroon” system in New Amsterdam…. Also how did the concept of “going Dutch (“Dutch Treat”)” develop?

You don't invent a country...

a rijksdaalder > een daalder > a dollar (from 1602 nl.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rijksdaalder#/media/Bestand:Groningen,_rijksdaalder_1602.JPG ) if you translate this dutch proverb sentence : De eerste klap is een daalder waard, Een goed begin is een daalder waard; you will get this > The first blow is worth a dollar, a good beginning is worth a dollar : nl.wikipedia.org/wiki/Daalder

Goede avond van Nederland

After 3 minutes I got pretty sick of all the background noise. If this continues I am gone

Bliksem dat zijn vrijmetselaars.

All Dutch spellings seem off, even for the 16th/17th century

Nice, greetings from The Netherlands 🙂

1:10:00 money is dutch dollar is ""daalder"

Mr. Ulrich; Maybe you should also include "De Vrede van Breda" (1667) in your story to explain why the Dutch signed over Nieuw-Amsterdam to the Englisch.

Imagine Stuyvesant didnt give up to the Brits. (Unthinkable ,outnumbered by the Brits ) But anyhow America would be a much happier place .

Een tip: je kan bv 2 grote glazen potten met de melk zelf in de pan stoppen. Optioneel in water

We did build our own country, but 'inventing' America we certainly did not. But

Dollars are originally Spanish. The Dutch had Florijn and Gulden, stuivers or stuyvers and centen.

Approved. Greetings from EU-NL. Go teach them! And remind Trump, what we make, we can break!

The Founding Fathers were persecuted in England because of their religion. They fled to Leiden where they stayed for a few years and were successful, but, and here is the snatch, they wanted to leave because of liberal environment was well, to liberal for them. They could have their believe here, but as their children played outside they came in contact with the Dutch and had more freedom and became critical to their own believes. So they organized a trip to the US where they established a foothold and were the start of what now is known as the USA.

Confuchius was confused

Also I seem to remember seeing plaques with all the Dutch words taken over by the Americans on Ellis Island was it? Seemed a bit more than in this presentation, but I guess you cannot do them all :-)

Actually, the Dutch took Nieuw Amsterdam back in 1673, only to trade it away for the more profitable colony of Surinam.

Should get an Autism Awareness sign in Salt Point and Millbrook and Red Oaks Mill etc. So people can be more respectful of those with Autism and Aspergers and the history of it.

A very nice place name, not mentioned here, is the old Dutch Spuyten Duyvil, or 'Squirting Devil', named for the wild tidal currents at that location in The Bronx!

I wanted to be proud, but with Trump in power I fear the mess we helped create.

In 1581 the Dutch drew up a Declaration of Independence, denouncing the Spanish king: called "Plakkaat van Verlatinghe", and became a republic. The declaration explained how a people is no longer obliged to follow a king who doesn't care for them. Almost 200 years later the USA drew up a very similar declaration against the king of England.

And today the second most valuable private company in the world is Koch industries. Mr Koch moved to the USA about 75 years ago from Friesland (the Netherlands). Thanks for the great video.

Ps.. something virtually ALL HISTORIANS and teachers of history miss: the Dutch golden age of immense profits and wealth gains not only surged during the intermediate peace time with Spain… but more likely because of the horrific 30 YEAR WAR in its neighbour Germany !! Because NO BETTER PROFITS AND BUSINESS than a next door war torn nation !! Goods at inflated prices, refugee Germans (Diets!) working for next to nothing in your merchant navy…endless sales of weapons and gunpowder…

Also, The American law is based on the dutch law by Mr Thorbecke !

Proud being Dutch.

Unfortunately there are many spelling mistakes in the Dutch words shown here. Spellings that never have been used in 17th century or modern Dutch. Please ask Charles Gehring or one his colleagues to check them. The same goes for the pronunciation. I don’t expect an American to pronounce Dutch words perfectly well, but even Dutch sounds which are (nearly) the same as in American English are pronounced here in a completely different way. Again, please ask Gehring or one of his colleagues for the best (possible) pronunciation.

The British hated the Dutch. Dutch treat, Dutch courrage, Dutch oven, going Dutch, double Dutch.

At 7:16 min.: Russell Shorto's second book is called 'Amsterdam, a History of the World's Most Liberal City' (2013)

That was awesome! Thank you! Our Saint Nicolas feast (het Sinterklaas feest) is a Catholicized version of the feast. The roots are actually from more ancient pagan religions. I quote from a perplexity search I just did: "As Christianity spread, Krampus became intertwined with the Christmas celebrations, particularly around December 5th, known as Krampusnacht (Krampus Night), when he is said to roam the streets alongside St. Nicholas." So the milder version is what we still have in The Netherlands, and the Krampus version is called 'Sunneklaas' in maybe two or three spots in The Netherlands. In the pictures you can see both versions. The pope-looking guy on the horse is Sinterklaas, which is the catholic version. And the dressed up people are part of the Sunneklaas feast, which is the Krampus version. Also here in Dutch culture it's mostly a day for the kids. They get gifts and we tell them stories about Sinterklaas and act as if all the gifts were delivered that evening by Sinterklaas himself. (Popular giftnight tactics: let a neighbour put the bag of gifts in front of the door when everyone is in the livingroom. Neighbour then bangs on the windows as if Sinterklaas is in a hurry and quickly let's the family know the gifts are here. Neighbour quickly goes inside again and we roleplay the thing with the kids.) There's not really a culture of drinking around it in the way there is with christmas or new years eve for example. Anyway, thank you again for this presentation, I actually do feel prouder as a Dutchie. Although I allready was pretty proud of that allready ;) Greetings from The Netherlands!!

The Dutch king William 3d was allso King of the Brits ended in 1702

It's all about making money that's what the Americans learned from the Dutch.

It's a fully decent talk, but to a Dutch person the spelling and pronunciation errors are a bit irksome, especially how it often kind of defaults to High German which just isn't Dutch. I can understand that a random American would lack the fundamental knowledge to do that properly and some effort is shown, so don't take it as very serious criticism, just saying work can be done there.

Amazing lesson. Thank you, from a Dutch. Dankjewel. About the British, they never ruled us but we ruled them once, William III of England (King Billy).😉

Yankees = Jan Kees

Yes Dutch heritage is very forgotten, why, ask the English.😮

1:02:08 "KEE" is not a name; it's KEES, short for Corneli(u)S KEES is pronounced like CASE, not keys konijn is pronounced like co9

sound quality

Sinterklaas (St. Nicholas) is celebrated on the 5th of december. Not the 6th.

We Dutchies aproved this video !! Thanks for sharing !

I just read the book "de Tawl" by Philip Dröge, a Dutch writer. In this book, he travels through New York and New Jersey, in search of remains of Dutch culture and language. A variant of Dutch, somewhat similar to Afrikaans but a unique language nontheless, was spoken in these areas until the beginning of the 20th century. Sadly Dutch dissapeared as a semi-official language, but Dutch culture left a significant impact on American culture and can be recognised until this day.

I'm dutch and living in the netherlands too and went through the complete presentation. For me nothing new. Just was wondering about the spelling of some of the words. Like boerderij, jan-kees, Breukelen, and so on. I know some about old dutch because im a genealogist in my spare time and read al lot of old documents. There has been a few different spellingforms in dutch. Specially the ij, eij, ey and ei (all the same sound an the y in why?) But also the ae and aa or the au and eau. Also the dutch language has the extra letter the ij where the i and j are written as one letter. Keyboards don't always support that. The pronanciation of ee, aa, eu, oe and oo sounds are completely different from english. By the way blitzen is lightning in german. In dutch it would be flitsen (flashing) Sint Nikolaas has a derived first name. Klaas. We have many of course. Like johan, john or jan from Johannes (the saint John) piet en pieter (from saint peter). Wijk comes from uitwijken of wijkplaats. Ik means a quieter place from the busy city. Mostly summer residences. Now a days the suburbs of a city are called wijken. But uitwijken has still the same description, to avoid something....

If we invented America...did we invent Trump to?!?!?!? Pffff...my God....👉🤪😂😂😂

De Britten zeggen dat zij een speciale band hebben met de VS , de Amerikanen zouden beter een speciale band met ons hebben , maar ja , zoals wij de Britten kennen doen zij graag aan geschiedsvervalsing en trekken alle eer naar hen toe , Waterloo , Australie ondekt , etc. etc. etc.

1:09:28 "a soft J..." not really, it's pronounced just as an english speaker would pronounce a "Y".

An interesting and accessible lecture! Also for us Dutch 😉 Greetings from The Hague. 🇳🇱🤝🇺🇸

If this is true we’re very sorry 😂
